So I finished this Guitar about two weeks ago , it came out sounding really great very happy with it
As far as the fiber optic aspect of it….It’s obviously just a gimmick, but I really enjoy it.
Sitka spruce top
Old quilted maple back and sides
Honduran mahogany one piece neck with Gibson style rod
Indian rosewood fretboard and bridge
Gotoh tuners
25.4" scale
satin nitro finish

Says the guy who doesn’t use markers-ha, just joking. A gimmick indeed but it is pretty cool looking in the dark. Next time would recommend LEDs under translucent fretboard dots then the audience could see them if they were bright enough.

Ha...I have a hard enough time selling my guitars as it is-pretty much everyone except the Classical players want markers at least on the side of the fretboard..

Markers on fretboard dots might be fun, but this is probably a one shot deal for me....
